Chapter 12: Protecting the Ice Monster
The sky is getting darker and darker, the sunset reflects the red half of the sky, as the temperature continues to drop, the evening breeze is also cold and biting, the warm sun is about to end, and the long dark night is ensuing. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE。 info
"Ding! System Prompt: Skipping level 2 to kill a level 6 brown bear, experience points will be increased by 200%, and 130 experience points will be obtained, congratulations to the player for raising the player's level to level 5. ”
"Whew, it's finally upgraded, it's not easy! The 30-compartment backpack is almost full, and the durability of the equipment is almost gone, so if it is a little later, I can only choose to go back first, but fortunately I still completed the goal. Luo Xiu patted off the snowflakes on his body that had been stained during the battle, packed his backpack, and set out on the way back to Xueman Village.
Luo Xiu, who came down from the hillside, slowly bypassed the brown bear in front of him, and he didn't have time to deal with it.
After bypassing the brown bear, Luo Xiu found that there was a metallic glow on the hillside in front of him, it was in a snow cave, if it wasn't for the evening sun shining into it, Luo Xiu would definitely not find a trace of abnormality.
"It's a treasure chest, I'm really lucky." Luo Xiu, who was standing at the entrance of the snow cave, looked towards the position where the metal light shimmered, it was a treasure chest frozen in ice, and there was a snowman standing next to it, which made him feel a little difficult.
【Guardian Ice Monster】
Rank: Elite
Level: 6
Category: Elemental Creature
Health: 550/550
This kind of sealed treasure chest usually needs to kill the guardian monster to open, Luo Xiu looked at the wolf tooth dagger with only two durability left, and estimated the time it would take to kill the guardian ice monster in his heart, if you count the damage of the musket, you should be able to take down the guardian ice monster before the equipment is damaged, even if the wolf tooth dagger is damaged, but it is still worth it for the treasure chest.
Luo Xiu observed the general situation in the snow cave, the depth was about twenty yards, the area inside was estimated to be ten yards in size, the treasure chest was in the corner of the snow cave, it was well hidden, and if you didn't look carefully, you thought it was a big ice mound.
Moving his somewhat stiff limbs, Luo Xiu shot at the guardian ice monster inside from the entrance of the snow cave, wanting to see how the defense of the guardian ice monster as an elemental monster was, the inferior bullet hit the guardian ice monster's body with a sharp sound of breaking the air, splashing a burst of sparks.
The -6 damage value came out of the head of the guardian ice monster, and the attacked guardian ice monster emitted a brilliant blue light all over its body, it shook off the snow on its body, revealing a crystal clear blue body, and the inferior bullet only left a white mark on the guardian ice monster, causing negligible damage.
"It's such a hard ice cube, this defense is ridiculously high." Luo Xiu roughly calculated the defense of the Guardian Ice Monster through the damage of the flat-firing bullets.
"Click!"
The Guardian Ice Monster rotates its ice-blue body, with two hollow grooves that resemble its head, which seem to be the eyes of the Guardian Ice Monster.
With these eyes, the guardian ice monster firmly locked on Luo Xiu, who was standing at the entrance of the snow cave, and directly raised his arm, and in less than two seconds, a diamond-shaped ice pick was condensed, shooting towards Luo Xiu at high speed, this is the skill of the guardian ice monster "Ice Arrow".
Luo Xiu suffered the loss of no exploration technique, and he didn't know that the guardian ice monster turned out to be a law monster, and he only reacted after the ice pick broke through the air, but it was too late, the extremely fast ice arrow was already close in front of him, and he had no time to dodge at all, so he could only use the novice musket in his hand to resist it.
only heard a bang, Luo Xiu's whole body was shrouded in a stream of ice mist, his body was also knocked back a few steps, and a damage value of -52 points floated out of his head at the same time, and the durability of the musket was reduced by 1 point.
"Ding! System Tip: Affected by Ice Arrows, your movement speed is reduced by 50% for 10 seconds. ”
"The attack power is really high! This is still a reduction in the weapon's blocking damage, and if there is a critical hit, it is not a matter of being taken away by a cold arrow. Luo Xiu looked at the fact that he was missing half a tube of blood bar, if he was hit by another cold ice arrow, he would lie down regardless of whether he was violent or not.
"Self-interest!"
Fortunately, the race Luo Xiu chose was the human race, otherwise how would he dodge the ice arrow if he slowed down by 50%, but Luo Xiu didn't dare to get too close, the closer the distance, the more difficult it was to dodge the ice arrow, and in close combat, he didn't interrupt the skill of casting spells, so he could only choose to shoot at each other with the guardian ice monster.
The guardian ice monster walked out of the snow cave and began to fight with Luo Xiu on the hillside, Luo Xiu was completely stepping on a tightrope, and finally rose to level 5, if one was not careful to be hit by an ice arrow, then all the hard work of these hours would be in vain.
An inferior bullet with the Cobra Shooting skill hits only a 9-point damage value against the Guardian Ice Monster.
Facing the guardian ice monster, Luo Xiu's nerves collapsed tightly, the guardian ice monster moved very slowly, as long as Luo Xiu dodged the ice arrow, he could still fly a kite and fly the guardian ice monster to death.
Time passed gradually, Luo Xiu had a bitter face, this day was about to get dark, how long would this grind, fortunately, in order to save copper coins, there were still a lot of inferior bullets left, enough to kill the guardian ice monster.
Otherwise, when the mana is exhausted, Luo Xiu can only rely on the battle to recover slowly, and he may not have killed the Guardian Ice Monster by tomorrow morning.
"Huh? How did this guardian ice monster stop casting? In the process of Luo Xiu's retreat, the guardian ice monster suddenly stopped casting spells and rushed towards him, and after approaching Luo Xiu thirty yards, he began to read the ice arrow skill again.
Luo Xiu thought about it for a while, and immediately became happy, the hunter has a range of forty yards, and the skill release distance of the guardian ice monster should only be thirty yards, which can completely attack at a distance, so that the guardian ice monster can not release the skill.
In this way, as long as you can know the cast time of the Guardian Ice Monster, you don't need to dodge the extremely fast Ice Arrow, Luo Xiu's bullet reloading speed can also be greatly accelerated, and the time required to kill the Guardian Ice Monster can also be greatly advanced.
Just stuck at a distance of thirty yards, as long as the guardian ice monster is about to release the skill, Luo Xiu will directly retreat, and the guardian ice monster can only stop casting the spell because the casting distance is not enough, and take a step forward before continuing to cast the spell.
In this way, the guardian ice monster was consumed by Luo Xiu step by step, and the ice-blue corpse also fell on the white snow and turned into a round orb.
"Ding! System Prompt: Skip the level and kill the level 6 elite guardian ice monster, increase the experience point gain by 100%, and gain 1100 experience points. ”
This time, because it was Luo Xiu's full damage, the experience points of the elite guardian ice monster fell on his head alone, and he gained more than a thousand experiences, which were less than one-tenth of the experience bar for Luo Xiu at level 5, so he was more concerned about the items dropped by the guardian ice monster.
The probability of elite monsters dropping equipment is very high, and Luo Xiu has already seen it on wild bucks.
But in comparison, the items dropped by the treasure guarding monster may sometimes be more abundant, and some of the items in the treasure chest are not even as good as the treasure guarding monster dropping, which makes many players very fond of the treasure chest guarded by the treasure guarding monster, although the treasure guarding monster is very difficult, but being able to harvest two items, everyone will like the treasure guarding monster.
"This guardian ice monster's IQ is really low, and it won't rush to a range of nearly twenty yards and then choose to cast a spell, so with only one and a half seconds of casting time, I can't run ten yards away." Luo Xiu looked at the circular ice cube under his feet, which was the corpse of the ice monster guarded.
When an elemental creature dies, it becomes a collection of elemental substances, that is, corpses made up of dense elements, some of which are round and some of which are square, so it's interesting to have a lot of variety.
"Wouldn't it? It's a skill book again, so I'm so lucky! Luo Xiu was a little surprised, he had just pulled out an ice-blue parchment book from the round ice cube, if this skill book was seen by a mage player, it wouldn't be crazy.
Skill Book: [Ice Arrow]
Category: Level 1 Skill (Upgradable)
Required: Mage
Skill range: 30 yards
Effect: Consumes 10 mana points, and after a cast time of 2.0 seconds, condenses an ice arrow and shoots at the enemy, dealing 150% of spell damage points of cold damage, and making the target frosty, and -35% movement speed for 8 seconds.
Cooldown: 20 seconds
In addition to the Elementalist who can learn the Ice Arrow skill from the Class NPC Mentor at level 5, the other two branches of the Mage, the Mystic Mage and the Summoner, do not have the Ice Arrow skill and need to be dungeoned or dropped in the wild.
The Ice Arrow not only has high skill damage, but also slows down by 35%, so if the Mystic Mage and Summoner learn it, it is a necessary skill to kill monsters or kill people.
Such a skill with high damage and control, but it is a magic skill of the mage professional PK, no matter how high the price is, someone will buy it.
The Guardian Ice Monster only dropped a skill book, and other items did not drop, Luo Xiu understood that compared to equipment materials, skill books are hard currency, which can be useful along with the player's level increase, unlike equipment that will be eliminated sooner or later.
Therefore, Luo Xiu would rather have nothing else for the monster, just drop the skill book, but this is just his luxury.
"You have to think carefully about how to ship, even the big guild doesn't have many copper coins in their hands now, and it's a pity to sell them for credits, so let's just put them on the virtual exchange for the taming beast skills of the hunter profession." Luo Xiu thought about it in his heart, and felt that only in this way could he give full play to the maximum value of the Ice Arrow Skill Book.
Putting away the skill book, Luo Xiu took out the miner's hoe, and the corpse of the guardian ice monster could not use the collection technique, but it could use the mining technique, after all, the ore was actually a collection of elements, like copper ore was a mineral produced by the dense copper elements gathered together.
Of course, there are some elemental creatures that cannot be mined, such as plant-type elemental creatures, but they can be collected using herb harvesting, and sometimes the materials collected from the corpses of elemental creatures are even better than those collected in the wild.
Collecting monster corpses does not give experience points, and also includes mining and collecting potions.
"Ding-ding-bell!"
Luo Xiu wielded the miner's hoe and dug vigorously at the corpse of the guardian ice monster in front of him.
With the crisp sound of the ice cracking, an ice-blue elemental core was also exposed, and after up to 10 seconds of mining time, Luo Xiu finally dug out the elemental core completely, and then he was also relieved, with his current mining skill level, the chance of failure was very high, but fortunately, it still succeeded.
【Inferior Ice Elemental Core】
Quality: Normal
Category: Professional Materials
Effect: Can be used for enchantment, blacksmithing, alchemy, engineering specialization.
There are many grades of professional materials, from low to high, which are classified as Normal, Excellent, Fine, Excellent, Extreme, Epic, and Legendary, and of course, Mythical materials that can only be used by gods.
Luo Xiu shook the ice element core in his hand, compared to the crystal clear of the body of the guardian ice monster, the ice element core was a little gray, and there were some black impurities in it, no wonder it was said to be an inferior ice element core.
"I thought it would be quite good to be able to collect elemental fragments, but I didn't expect to dig out a complete elemental core, and my luck is really good." Luo Xiu said a little excitedly, he was already very convinced of his luck.
The sapphire-like ice element core was a little cold in his hand, which made Luo Xiu put the ice element core into the backpack, and thought about how to get the drawings for using this material, otherwise he could only put it in the backpack and watch it.
